Enumerations count

Henrik Nilsson
Table of contents

Concept descriptions containing enumerations have not been considered in real depth in terminology theory. Such descriptions have not been considered proper terminological definitions, but they still do not deserve to be considered a marginal phenomenon. This chapter aims to discuss and expand the concept of “defining by enumeration”. Depending on what is being enumerated (“subordinate concepts”, “objects”, “partitive concepts” and others) in extensional definitions, how the enumerations are done and why they are used, there might be a need for an expansion of the current typology of definitions with some new subtypes of extensional definitions.
